Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: Historic State Capital near Chocolate Empire

The midsize city of Harrisburg has played a part in key moments in US history: it was the site of several Civil War battles, as well as a rail and transportation hub during the Industrial Revolution. The National Civil War Museum chronicles the war from both the Southern and Northern perspectives, housing more than 12,000 artifacts including Robert E. Lee's pocket Bible and Ulysses S. Grant's sword belt. The Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex—which Teddy Roosevelt once praised as "the handsomest" he'd ever seen—is also worth a stop. You can take a guided tours around the Beaux Arts building, which was constructed in 1902.

Nearby Hershey bills itself as "The Sweetest Place on Earth," and it's hard to dispute that claim—the whole town smells like chocolate. Rags-to-riches entrepreneur Milton Hershey founded Hershey in 1903 as a company town for his factory workers. These days, it's at the center of a confection empire where you’ll find candy-themed amusement parks and museums. At Hersheypark®, you can ride 13 roller coasters and float in inner tubes down a lazy river. Next door, the Hershey’s Chocolate World trolley tour takes passengers to Milton Hershey's boyhood home and the mansion he built across from his factory.

Feels like coming home! We come here every year for 20+ years. The staff caters to our every needs. Randy greets us at the door with a smile like welcome home! We get the Randy Rate and the room we always stay in. The pool sparkles as we open our balcony door!

Most reasonable and friendly place to stay Excellent place to stay. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, the indoor and outdoor pools are really nice. There is a playground for kids, a volleyball net and a jacuzzi outside. Ping pong table, arcade room, several meeting rooms, restaurant, pool table and bar inside. The restaurant food was delicious and the drinks were mixed just right. Now, don't be disappointed if the restaurant isn't open, you are centrally located to quite a few restaurants and other area attractions.
